We are a collaboration of Christian doulas in Austin who all trust and believe our Creator has perfectly designed women to birth their babies.  Each birth is different and every family needs the unique support a doula provides.  Moving through the intensity of birth can cause a woman to surrender, which is the intimate place where prayer and trust in God becomes most important.  Having a doula who can encourage you and your partner spiritually during birth is essential just as having others to encourage you throughout your walk with Christ.  A Christian doula will not only give you the physical and emotional support, but in addition will encourage you with scripture and prayer.  In many ways, birth is like parenting where you are tried and pushed to your limits, and it's crucial to have a support system.
